When China's central bank raises interest rates, the lack of a sophisticated secondary market dampens the effect.

Real estate, stocks, credit. China sure has its share of bubbles. Oddly, little attention is paid to the biggest one of all.

No one is saying this will be an easy year - not with central bankers reacquainting themselves with the risks of inflation. Interest rates will rise as they must given all the hot money sloshing around the globe. And Asian equities tend to take the first round of rate increases badly.

China's old economy is clearly booming, and investors haven't made a lot of money betting against it. Why, then, would China's leaders imperil their future prospects as 2010 gets under way?

If you think nothing ever changes in Japan, consider Naoto Kan and Kazuo Inamori.
Kan is the new finance minister and Inamori is Japan Airlines Corp.’s new chief executive officer. Both men have three notable things in common. One, neither is a natural choice for the task at hand. Two, both hold the outlook for Asia’s biggest economy in their hands. Three, the odds are stacked firmly against either succeeding.

Japan is poised this year to lose its title as second largest economy with China projected to slot behind the US. The psychological blow that will have on Japanese politicians and consumers isn't getting the attention it deserves

There's a view that tomorrow's bubbles are the price we pay for recovering from the last ones.

Governments spent more than $750 billion to bail out financial companies since the credit crisis began. We are talking about saving the Earth, and leaders come up with a tenth the amount proposed by financiers like George Soros!
Dec 07 12:12 1ST
The focus has been on China's stimulus efforts and low interest rates adding froth to stock and real estate markets. The real bubble is the expectations China is creating - ones that will be devilishly hard to meet in 2010.

The yen's surge greatly complicates things. It means the government and BOJ need to work together to stop prices from falling, and they're not. It's bad news for investors.
Nov 27 13:11 1ST
From Beijing to Hanoi, officials are concerned that low US interest rates are fueling bubbles. It's the clearest sign yet that Asian officials are worried about bubbles.

When Obama arrives in Tokyo tomorrow, he can expect to get an earful about the dollar. He should expect the same in Singapore, Beijing and Seoul.

As investment barometers go, Beyonce isn't normally mentioned, except in Malaysia.

There was a time when a central banker's job was to take away the punchbowl just as the party got going.

The dollar is at a breaking point. No, this isn't hyperbole. It's what many economists are saying as they look at US finances and how central banks are increasingly snubbing the world's reserve currency. It barely needs to be said that this could all end very badly.

The search for winners amid the global crisis often leads to unexpected places.
